IF ADA-ACCESSIBLE SERVICE IS NEEDED...
Metro Bus Route 8 will be FREE to ride in downtown Buffalo between the areas of Allen Station and Canalside Station.
When boarding Metro Rail underground and traveling to Church, Seneca or Canalside, please board the rear car of the train. This will ensure your train car opens to an elevated platform at the station.
If you board at Fountain Plaza or Lafayette intending to travel to Church, Seneca or Canalside, you first must enter an outbound train and travel to Allen. After arriving at Allen, you must exit, then enter the rear car of an inbound train in order to ride to your intended destination.
We expect this phase of construction to be completed by the end of November. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make these necessary upgrades and adjustments to improve our rail service.
🚨 SINGLE TRACKING & DL&W CLOSURE 🚨
Starting November 1, single tracking will take place across two sections of the Metro Rail line.
🚈 At Church, Seneca and Canalside stations, riders traveling in either direction will be asked to board on the OUTBOUND side of the tracks.
🚈 At Humboldt, Delavan, Utica, Summer-Best and Allen stations, riders traveling in either direction will be asked to board on the INBOUND side of the tracks.
❌ During this time, DL&W Station will be closed in order to ensure that trains arrive at all other stations every 20 minutes.
These temporary adjustments are being made in order to facilitate tunnel and radio system upgrades, as well as continued rehabilitation of Church Street Station.
Thee adjustments also allow for the City of Buffalo to work on its Cars Sharing Main Street Project.
